## Description

Nearly six million Americans suffer from the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder, which can manifest itself in many ways: paralyzing fear of contamination; unmanageable “checking” rituals; excessive concern with order, symmetry, and counting; and others Freedom from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders provides Dr. Johnathan Grayson's revolutionary and compassionate program for finally breaking the cycle of overwhelming fear and endless rituals, including: Self-assessment tests that guide readers in identifying their specific type of OCD and help track their progress in treatment Case studies from Dr. Grayson’s revolutionary and profoundly successful treatment program Blueprints for programs tailored to particular manifestations of OCD Previously unexplored manifestations of OCD such as obsessive staring, Relationship OCD (R-OCD), obsessive intolerance of environmental sounds and chewing sounds Therapy scripts to help individuals develop their own therapeutic voice, to motivate themselves to succeed New therapies used in conjunction with exposure techniques “Trigger sheets” for identifying and planning for obstacles that arise in treatment Information on building a support group And much more Demystifying the process of OCD assessment and treatment, this indispensable book helps sufferers make sense of their own compulsions through frank, unflinching self-evaluation, and provides not only the knowledge of how to change—but the courage to do it.

Review: A journey deep into the mind of an OCD sufferer - I've read numerous books on OCD and anxiety, including "Getting Control" and "The Imp of the Mind" by Lee Baer, "You Are Not Your Brain" by Jeffrey Schwartz, "Overcoming Obsessive Thoughts" by Clark and Purdon, and "Hope and Help for Your Nerves" by Claire Weekes. I recommend each of these books in their own way, especially "The Imp of the Mind" and "Hope and Help for Your Nerves". Each one has helped me recover from a period of anxiety. However, Dr. Grayson's book is on another level. I'm an OCD sufferer, having gone through many different forms over the years, including Harm-OCD, obsessing about obsessing, health concerns, Relationship OCD, and others. Other books were good, and they provided a lot of good reassurance, but as you may know, with OCD, reassurance isn't always a good thing. I found little to no reassurance in this book, instead I found strong motivation, tools for recovery, and resources to support me in the process. Dr. Grayson is a big proponent of Exposure and Response Prevention, the "gold standard" of OCD treatment today. In a way, there's quite a bit of "tough love", but that's exactly what we need. And at the risk of sounding less OCD and more schizophrenic, it's like Dr. Grayson could read my mind. So many times he said "You're probably thinking..." or "You know that...", and he was almost always right. He has a deep, deep understanding of the OCD mind. His understanding was more evident than any other author I've read. While reading previous books, I ignored exercises because I thought they were silly, contrived, or unnecessary. He addresses this mentality, and I found myself doing all of the exercises. The exercises are mostly very useful. He really lays it all out. He does a brief overview of OCD, but doesn't belabor it - after all, most of us who are reading this book know about it first-hand. He describes the various manifestations and related disorders, how their presence can present challenges, and how those challenges can be overcome. It's true that it's all treated mainly the same way, but it's naive to deny that there are unique challenges to each theme. He helps the reader design individualized recovery plans through numerous exercises. He addresses family and friends, teaching them how they can best support their loved ones with OCD. He lays out a clear plan to avoid major relapses and stay "better". Finally, he leaves the reader with resources for further help, including information on support groups, organizations, therapists, etc. He takes all of this complicated material and makes it easy - learn to live with uncertainty, and your life will improve. I'm confident in saying that this is the best book on OCD I've ever read. I absolutely recommend it to both the individual just learning about OCD and the learned, experienced individual. I will need to reread this one, but more importantly I will use its tools to beat my OCD.
Review: Can recommend - If you can’t afford therapy, this seems to come pretty close. It can sometimes be a little triggering so be aware that some of the examples are definitely anxiety inducing, but it also includes the techniques to help ignore and recontextualize and lessen those anxieties. I was very happy to read this, and found it immensely helpful. If you’ve already got sticky ocd thoughts, the risk of adding a couple more by reading this book is probably less than the risk of getting some helpful techniques from this book to help you loosen those sticky thoughts, but it’s not zero. Sometimes it’s okay to live with that uncertainty.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best resource for OCD that I have read.
*by A***S on January 14, 2020*

This book is a phenomenal resource for anyone struggling with obsessive compulsive disorder. I have used a combination of several sources and workbooks and Dr. Grayson's is by far the most thorough. If you are struggling to wrap your head around a diagnosis, or cannot afford treatment with a specialist (although treatment with a professional is always recommended), or if you are receiving treatment but still find yourself caught in the endless cycles of "but what if it's not OCD, it's 'x'"... then you have come to the right place. Dr. Grayson writes with a familial tone that makes you feel as though you are working through a diagnosis with him in his office. The writing is supportive, but firm, without granting the reassurance of absolute certainty that obsessive compulsive disorder so vehemently demands. If you are willing to do the work, you can devise a full treatment plan and make real strides in your recovery.
